Durner fir on fire: One of the world’s highest trees burns inside; 50 feet lost, unknown reasons

Firefighters in Oregon are struggling with a blast inside one of the world’s tallest trees – Durner Cedar – A coastal Douglas cedar is longer than 325 feet long and is believed to be more than 450 years old, the news agency AP said.The fire started on Saturday at Kos County in Oregon’s Coast Range, is burning inside the trunk of a tree about 280 feet above the ground. While an infrared drone flight on Tuesday showed no flames or smoke at the top, according to the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) spokesman Megan Harper, the heat is stuck inside a cavity.The crew teams are working to determine how the fire is used on a large scale. “How to find out the tree for the cavity with water, a challenge,” said Harper, “According to the AP, options such as the AP are being considered as options such as making scaffolding or climbing nearby trees.The helicopter bucket drops had earlier reduced fire activity near the top of the tree, while according to the COOS One protective association, sprinkler and container lines were installed based on it. Further, a helicopter for water drops stays on the standby.The fire has already damaged due to appearance. Harper confirmed, “We have lost about 50 feet, just by fire and falling out of pieces,” Harper confirmed. “So I don’t know where it would stand after this, but it is still a magnificent tree,” as quoted by the agency.Although electricity has been rejected for this reason, the exact origin of the fire remains under investigation. In particular, Doerner FIR is the only tree burning in the immediate area, BLM said.Despite the loss, officials believe that the tree is not at the immediate risk of total destruction. “The tree is so big, it has become so mass that it will take some time to burn it in all ways,” Harper explained.Efforts to save the tree continue with urgency. “I think people really love it,” said Harper. “There is a lot of history, and so we don’t want to lose it.”
